Winter, How I love you!

With the colder weather moving in everyone is talking about how much they hate winter...Why??
Because it get a little cold?
Nobody every mentions all the wonderful things that come with winter.
This is my response to Kyle's blog :)
I love winter because.....
I love snow
I love watching it fall
I love the look of winter, the snow and the greys
I love decorating for Christmas
I love Jesus Birthday children's plays at church
I love bundling up in sweats and a blanket
I love snuggling, watching movies, and drinking hot coco and coffee
I love playing in the snow
Making snowmen and snowball fights
I love seeing family...I especially like my sister being home for 5 weeks
I love baking and when it is hot out I do not like baking
I love the smell of cinnamon and pine
I love the holiday spirit
I love Winter

Irritation


We all have them, small things that just irritate us to no end.

We don't mean anything personal by it but some things we simply can not stand.

Austin thinks I am the most easily annoyed person EVER! I wouldn't say that is true but I do have my erks.

1. Small, rather unnoticeable sound....Dogs licking, Heavy breathing, lips smacking.... I could go on for days.

2. A Dirty House... If a messy house bugs me. If you take something out put it away, simple right?! Not so much, even I tend to leave things laying around and later can't believe the mess I have.

3. Aggressive driving... A certain somebody,who will remain nameless, ALWAYS drives crazy. Is it that much of a difference to be at our destination 5 minutes later? I also dislike the crazy drivers weaving in and out of lanes. Maybe you should have left earlier.

4. Group Projects... These drive me up the wall... We are in college, working and have families. Do teachers truly believe we have time outside of class to meet with 5 other busy adults? And there is always the people who know you will do the whole project so they put forth NO effort.
5. Computers... I hate computers. They sure do make things easier on us and we can do anything on them BUT they never work right, always freeze on me and half the time I get so annoyed with them I don't get anything accomplished

Three Inventions I take for granted

Ever stop to think about the things you use everyday and think nothing of it?

Well lately I have realized I have a lot of "tools" I use daily that would absolutely stink if they were not around



1. Washer and dryer - Simple I know but think about spending hours hand washing and hang drying your clothes.




2. Flat Iron- I have the CRAZIEST hair ever. Only my family has seen it air dried and wild. Austin makes fun of it every night after my shower. I don't know how I dared going out without doing it when I was in elementary and Middle school




3. Hot water Heater- I always think about the days when people boiled water and poured in tub for their bath. Way too time consuming.
